Young readies version "2.0"
Produced by Jimmy Robbins and Dann Huff, the 11-track collection features Young's soulful singing along with classic country instrumentation of banjo, pedal steel and mandolin. .
The record features "Who I Do It For," a collaboration with Lady A and a new version of his DIAMOND-certified hit "In Case You Didn't Know," featuring Hannah McFarland.
"It's always my goal to be real and transparent and connect with my audience, whether that means writing a song about what happened yesterday or revisiting past experiences," said Young. "It should always be about a connection with the listeners. 2.0 feels really special to me, and I'm very proud of it. I hope it makes people want to come out and see the live show even more."
Tomorrow, Young's new single "Drink With You" will make its world premiere on country radio and is available everywhere on Friday. Penned by Young, Jesse Frasure, Tony Lucca and Emily Weisband, the song is a pedal steel-stamped struggle of resisting alcohol-induced romantic temptations.

CD reviews for Brett Young
Brett Young's Christmas EP is a strange little thing. Like many holiday project creators, Young prefers to look backwards, rather than forward. Hence the phrase 'Christmas Classics' in the album title. Nostalgia is always huge in country music, so this approach makes some sense. Therefore, this release is one that may cause you to travel with Scrooge back to various Christmases from the past. You also might come away feeling decidedly Scrooge-y about it.
It's strange, however, ...
It's troubling after listening to an album multiple times in a row, to not have even one song stick in one's memory.

Appreciation of Young's music rises and falls with what you think about his singing style. He sounds a little like Gary LeVox, ...
Brett Young had a hit out of the box with "Sleep Without You," as ear candy of a song. His soulful vocals carry the percolating song that seemed designed with airplay in mind. If Young were a band, this is the type of song that Rascal Flatts might cover. In fact, the airplay bent could be said of most of the dozen songs on the Californian's major label debut after five indie releases.
"Close Enough" has a funky side, trying to get the singalong going with the opening ...
